Last week we finally received the Amended Permit... and so are all set to start with the dismantling of the Interior Display cabinet this morning. I woke up at 5.50am ready to start today!!
Yesterday (22 January 2013) MEPA & Heritage Malta requested a site visit, where they could meet the carpenter and run through the scheduled of works for the renovation of the Shop Front. They were once again punctual....11.30am on the dot! I thought that they were very accommodating. They suggested that they be on site when the shop front was either dismantled (if need be) or erected, just in case there are any unforeseen events that they would be able to verify. However... somewhere along the line, perhaps 'lost in translation' to me, my carpenter started to become a bit upset?? And can you believe it walked off site, claiming he was "wasting his time!" OMG.
We were all a bit in shock I think? The'job' had remained completely as planned with the carpenter, nothing was being said to contradict or change it. The only sensitive issue is the fact that I have agreed to retain and restore the right-hand-section of the shop front and this is a bit tricky. The fragility of the old wood could mean that it gets damaged in the fitting of the Middle & Left Hand Side, new, replica sections?
Anyway I will have to get back to you on this situation because I am really not sure what the next step will be!
Simon the Audio Consultant met with me, on site last week. He is returning today!!!
He basically informed me last week how the audio/visual system connects up, recommended ceiling mounting the projector and said he will return with necessary (extended lengths) cables and ready for a trail run through.
This meeting is scheduled for 11am this morning.
Meanwhile I have been hunting for the toilet room (or Powder Room) tiles. I would like 30x30cm tiles for this project (I have an idea!) but the popular tile size at the moment is 30x90cm....which I may have to go with.
I has been a challenge designing the tiny toilet room to blend with the overall aesthetics of my Studio/Gallery. I want it to be contemporary with antiquity and I would like this tiny space to have the WOW Factor too.
As you can see, I have a lot to keep me on my toes, but am starting to see the end result now which is great.
Let see how the audio/visual goes today...
